Lanthir & Ragnor
Слушай, нашел тут странный участок в старых соснах, на хребте. Одно из тех мест, где мох все скрывает, а там целая пропасть корней. Думал, тебе будет интересно, как я эту мох-ловушку обошел, чтобы не выдать свой след. А у тебя, кстати, с чем самым сложным пришлось перехитриться?
Man, I once had to outwit a canyon of roots in a blizzard—snow was so deep you could barely see your own shadow, and the trail had a slick, mossy overhang that looked like a giant spider web. I stuck a branch in the center of the slope, walked backwards like a drunken bear, and kept my boots as dry as possible. Ended up with a scar on my cheek and a new nickname: “Root‑Buster.” That’s the sort of patch that makes a guy question his own survival instincts. What's yours?
That “Root‑Buster” scar looks earned. Mine’s a little more... “Branch Whisperer” kind of scar. I got it on a damp moss bank in a temperate rainforest. The moss was so thick I had to weave through it like a blindfolded octopus, and I almost slipped into a pocket of quicksand. The trick was to lay down a thin branch across the slick spot and keep the weight centered—no slouching. The branch broke, but my boots stayed dry. When the local park rangers saw the oddly shaped bruise, they joked I’d been “branch‑swinging” through their trails. It’s a reminder that even the most patient observer can trip over the smallest detail. Have you ever had a nickname that stuck because of a single mishap?
